Sittenfeld returns with the story of twin sisters: Vi, a professed psychic, and Kate, a wife and mother in denial of her talents.

Trailer Tuesday: ‘The Golem and the Jinni’ by Helene Wecker
In Helene Wecker‘s magical debut, two supernatural creatures meet in New York City to forge a redemptive friendship. Chava is a golem, created out of clay to be her late master’s wife. Ahmad is a jinni, a creature of fire, … Continue reading
Trailer Tuesday: ‘Centuries of June’ by Keith Donohue
Centuries of June by Keith Donohue didn’t need to have such an eye-catching cover. Its surreal plot will pull readers right in, as it all takes place in one bathroom in an old house just before dawn — but travels … Continue reading
Weekly links
I posted earlier this week about the #YAsaves online controversy, and I figured at that point I’d be finished with sharing links from authors who chose to respond to Meghan Cox Gurdon’s article in the Wall Street Journal. That was … Continue reading
The Carolyn Parkhurst Collection
We were already fans of Carolyn Parkhurst at BookPage—we interviewed her about her 2003 debut, The Dogs of Babel, and The Nobodies Album is one of our book club picks for June. Now, she’s just got us cracking up. You … Continue reading
The simple things
Book trailers have come a long way—as we’ve seen with the videos we highlight every week on Trailer Tuesday—but sometimes the simplest route is the best. In this video from Penguin, John le Carré reads an excerpt from his latest … Continue reading
Trailer Tuesday: Packing for Mars
Mary Roach has written about the history and science of sex (Bonk), cadavers (Stiff) and the afterlife (Spook). What do you think could possibly interest her next? Why, what happens to people in space, of course. Packing for Mars came … Continue reading
Moby Award winners
The Moby Awards—recognizing the best (and worst) in book trailers—were announced last night in New York City. I am happy to say that the trailer for Lowboy by John Wray won for Best Cameo in a Book Trailer (actor/comedian Zach … Continue reading
Trailer Tuesday: Historical fiction all around
We’re running a roundup of historical fiction titles in the April edition of BookPage. The plots move from Renaissance Italy to 16th-century England, and feature “struggling artists and merciless monarchs, dysfunctional families and doubt-wracked lovers,” writes contributor Julie Hale. Two … Continue reading
Trailer Tuesday: Dawn of the Dreadfuls & The House of Tomorrow
Dawn of the Dreadfuls, the prequel to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, the best-selling mashup from Quirk Books, hit shelves today. Author Steve Hockensmith has written a hilarious behind-the-book essay for BookPage, in which he confesses to his life-long dream … Continue reading
A Whole Nother Trailer
This morning I came across a book trailer for Dr. Cuthbert Soup’s debut YA novel, A Whole Nother Story (the book came out a couple weeks ago). The trailer cracked me up, and I thought you might enjoy something silly … Continue reading
Book trailers on the big screen
